Berisha said his new Victory teammates had not mentioned as yet the goal he scored against them that ended their 2013-14 season in April.

“They are very professional and they knew that I had signed for Victory, but the way I am I always work hard for my teammates and my club,” he said.

“I had to do it and they respect that. It was very hard for them and of course I felt sorry, I have to be honest. But all the way I know the Brisbane boys there trusted me and believed in me and it was important to keep that trust so I did my job.”

Berisha has put his hand up to play against Western Australian club Bayswater City in the first round of the FFA Cup next month.

“I want to play every friendly game, every FFA Cup game and every A-League game,” Berisha said.

“It’s important that we take every game very seriously.

“I think the FFA Cup is a great thing for Australia. It’s something special to have a trophy like this and I think all the boys are looking forward to that too.”
